According to a Google+ blog post from Jeff Huber, Google Maps for
iOS turned out to be a success, with more than 10 million downloads
just 48 hours after the app was released last Wednesday night. We're
excited for the positive reception of Google Maps for iPhone around the
world. Congratulations to the Maps Team on the recognition for the
passion and hard work they poured into it, for this release and over the
last 7+ years. If you already have it – thank you, and please tell a
friend. Any feedback you have is welcomed, here in G+ or in the app
